mTSBench is a collection of 344 multivariate time series from 19 datasets commonly used in anomaly detection research. Each folder corresponds to one dataset and contains *_train.csv, *_test.csv, and *_val.csv files. See data_summary.csv for per-file statistics.
This repository uses Git LFS for the CSV files.
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/PLAN-Lab/mTSBench
Select one of the 19 configurations so files with different schemas are not combined.
from datasets import load_dataset
calit2 = load_dataset("PLAN-Lab/mTSBench", "CalIt2")
df_train = calit2["train"].to_pandas()
df_test = calit2["test"].to_pandas()
Each CSV contains a timestamp column, dataset-specific feature columns, and a binary is_anomaly label.
